Images of Thom
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
once again, the simplistic choices are frustrating. yes, he's lame duck, but so what?; the point is to get his proposals out to the public, then profit from gop opposition. it's politics, not idealistic posturing.
The progressive community knows whats RIGHT, so OBAMA should simply say what NEEDS TO BE SAID. Sooner or later the public will ultimately realize and cave to the True Progressive Agenda geared around the middleclass, seniors and lastly all the unequality which the 99% are faced with.
As long as we have politicians who support corporate America over We the People not much will get done just look at the last few years, we have been held hostage for too long. It won't matter who becomes POTUS in the next election if we still have businessman disguised as politicians making decsions for us and our planet.
Obama's SOTU speech was pointless, but because of Republicans; he'd run into just as much opposition if the Democrats were in control. America is an oligrarcy. We lost our democratic republic while we were busy watching so-called "reality" TV or playing video games while the corporate powers-that-be sought to divide us into a many opposing camps as possible.
